Spying is risky if you are caught. Still, it is worth it to help win the war. Will you: Become a member of the Pinkerton Detective Agency to spy for the North? Be a wealthy Southern woman spying for the Confederacy in Washington D.C.? Be a free black man traveling into the South to spy for the Union?
